SAVE this for when you really need a break 🤍

This time of year, I always start to feel a bit burnt out. Either run down, or just carrying the stress from the year that’s just gone. I always look to January as a chance to slow things down a bit and properly recharge.

I’ve put together 11 spas to visit in 2026 that I’ve personally experienced, from peaceful spots up in Loch Lomond to calm little escapes in Bath. Every one of these felt special in its own way, whether it was a full countryside reset or a proper luxury treat.

💆‍♀️ If you want the full list with a bit more detail, comment SPA ESCAPE and I’ll send it over.

Which one are you saving for later?

✨ Save this for Christmas in Salzburg ✨ ᵃᵈ

We spent four nights in Salzburg and it ended up being one of the most magical Christmas trips I have taken in years. Snowy streets, warming food, beautiful markets and that lovely feeling you only get at Christmas. It really did feel like stepping into a Christmas card. 🎄✨

🎄🎄Comment SALZBURG and I will send you my festive guide 🎄🎄

If you are planning a festive break, here are a few things that made it so special.

⭐ The Christmas markets
Salzburg has some of the prettiest in Europe. Christkindlmarkt is the big one with choirs and cathedral views, Mirabellplatz feels local and cosy and Hellbrunn Advent Magic is full of lights and Christmas trees. We also found some lovely decorations and gifts to bring home.

⭐ The views
Take the lift up to Museum der Moderne for amazing views over the rooftops. If you are lucky with snow it looks beautiful from above.

⭐ Festive food
Think Glühwein, pretzels, roasted chestnuts, warm sausage dishes and Austrian classics like Käsespätzle. We tried as much as we could and it all felt perfect for cold winter days.

⭐ Moments that felt special
Waking up to snow, visiting the Christmas Museum, learning about local traditions like Krampus and seeing Sound of Music filming spots. It all added something extra to the trip.

⭐ Where we stayed
We stayed at Hotel Sacher which felt elegant and warm at Christmas. Our suite overlooked the river and was such a lovely place to come back to after the cold. The service was impeccable and the amenities smelt amazing!

✈️ Getting there
Salzburg is under two hours from London Gatwick.
There is a @britishairwaysholidays package you can book which includes flights, hotel and a checked bag.

If you want a magical Christmas trip next year, Salzburg is one of the loveliest festive breaks from the UK. @visitsalzburg @salzburgerland

I finally made it into London to see the new decorations and they’re looking beautiful this year. I spent the whole day wandering between the different displays and managed to see everything in one go, so if you’re planning a festive day out, or on a festive break in the city you can easily fit all of these in. And if you’re not but just want to have a peek, here they are ❤️

Here are some of the places we loved:

🎄 Christkindlmarkt, Old Town
Twinkling lights, traditional stalls and cathedral views.

🌟 Hellbrunn Advent Magic
A fairytale glow with thousands of decorations.

🍷 Sternbräu Advent Market
Cosy arches, glowing trees and warm drinks.

❄️ Mirabell Gardens
Quiet, snowy and beautiful for a winter walk.

🍽️ St. Peter Stiftskulinarium
Europe’s oldest restaurant and perfect for a festive dinner.

⛪ Nonnberg Abbey
A peaceful hilltop viewpoint over Salzburg.

🎬 Mondsee
A festive day trip with the Sound of Music wedding church and warm Käsespätzle.

🏨 Hotel Sacher Salzburg
Iconic, Christmassy and such a special place to stay.

Details are in my stories and my Salzburg highlight.

This felt like the kind of winter escape you usually think you need to get on a plane to find. Fresh snow, quiet mornings and that soft stillness that makes everything feel a little magical. I remember standing there taking it all in because I’d never had a UK escape like this with snow.

Have you ever seen this part of the Lake District in the snow? I felt so lucky to experience it.

Winter in Edinburgh has a charm all of its own ❤️

**Save for a future trip**

Beautiful architecture, rich history, cobbled streets, colourful corners and plenty of cosy spots to warm up between wanders. ❄️

This trip was one of my favourites. From peaceful strolls to castle views and candlelit lunches, there’s something so atmospheric about this city in the colder months.

Just don’t forget your big coat! 🧊 🧥

The perfect UK winter walk ❄️

📍 Location at the end 📍

Save this for your next UK adventure

If you’re looking for a beautiful and accessible walk this winter, Aber Falls is one of my favourites. The trail leads through stunning Welsh countryside before opening up to an incredible 120-foot waterfall — and it’s just as magical in winter.

It’s an easy, family-friendly route that takes about an hour to reach the base of the falls. Parking is £5 (cash only) at the main car park, and there are public toilets on site too.

It’s one of the best short walks in Wales and a must for any UK bucket list. 💦

📍 Aber Falls / Rhaeadr Fawr, North Wales 📍
